INSOLVENT FOREIGN PRIVATE BANK: A STUDY ON MERGER AND LIQUIDATED BANKS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to apply the result of the previous studies on predictive models of banks soundness in the year of 1999-2004 in private national banks, in which the result showed poor performance as was indicated by Z-score calculation of the discriminatory function of the cut-off position on less soundness and unsoundness level.
The study also examined whether the financial ratios that must be published according to SEBI No. 7/10/DPNP March 2005 are able to predict the level of banks soundness when
they were implemented on the the discriminatory function.
The research population was Indonesian Foreign Private Bank (BUSN). The secondary data used in this research were publications of financial statement during the five-year
perception time (2004-2008). The result of the research showed that the discriminatory function of previous research could apply to predict the soundness level of private foreign
banks in the period 2004-2008 and the financial ratios according to SEBI7/10/DPNP publication in March 2005 were not enough to predict the soundness ratings of Indonesia’s Foreign Private Banks.
